Overlooking Portmellon Bay, on the coastal road, and 50 yards from a sandy beach, this restored 18th-century holiday cottage offers cosy accommodation in the heart of a traditional Cornish seaside village. It is situated on the ground and first floors of a small group of properties and the sea is only 5 yards away! This property is perfect for walkers, or guests looking to drive around the local area, as public transport is limited. It is less than a half-mile walk away from the fishing village of Mevagissey with its restaurants, inns, shops, fishing trips and boat hire. Ideally situated for the Eden Project near St Austell, 7 miles, with the Lost Gardens of Heligan, one of Cornwall’s most popular attractions, 2 miles. Shops ½ mile, seasonal pub 50 yards.
Beautiful cottage in an amazing setting
An excellent property . Very comfortable. The owners were very easy to deal with and the locals were great. We would definitely use this property again.
Very welcoming and everything you need in a perfect location.
We loved staying in this gorgeous little cottage which is right by the sea. We didn't have very good weather for our week in Cornwall but the cottage was so nice, peaceful and relaxing it didn't matter that we spent more time inside than we normally would do. The location is wonderful and you are only 20 minute stroll from the pubs, cafes and shops of Mevagissey. It was so nice to fall asleep and wake up to the sound of waves gently lapping the rocks below the bedroom window. No complaints whatsoever. Thoroughly recommended!
Set up very well for 2 people, but if going as a family of 3 you might want to request a 3rd dining chair. Shared terrace with Puffin Barrow gives best views of sea and bay. Gorgeous setting.
Our stay January, 2020
We had a fabulous time in Dawn Cottage. Its location was perfect for coastal walks and visiting other areas. The cottage was well equipped, comfortable and a home from home. Loved being so close to the sea. Will definitely return.
